@madscientistofmuscle: Interesting training setup for Front Levers... this is what I've come up with to work on building up to a good front lever (clearly have work to do on that). Would love to get some feedback on this setup from experienced calisthenics people! This one really hammered lats, core and triceps long head. I've got the bar set up on the rails in the power rack at about face level with the other end counterbalanced with weight (I've got two 45 lbs plates on there but probably one would be fine, tbh). I've got my hands set on the fat, rolling end of the bar with a false grip (thumbs over top). At the start, the grip is more vertical so you can hang from the bar. Then as you lean back, you roll the bar end so your hands rotate over the top of the bar more. As I'm leaning back, I'm attempting to bring my legs up straight in front of me then hold (not very long yet!). The beauty of this setup is in the setting the hands on rolling end. It very easily allows you to change body position to get into the lever position and essentially do reps of it. In the first part, I tested it setting my feet down between attempts. Then I tested keeping my feet off the ground (in various ways) and that was definitely harder. This one has a lot of potential for front lever training, I think. But yeah, if you've got calisthenics experience, let me know what you think (or even if you don't, feel free to comment :). --- Want fast results in a lagging muscle group? #frontlever #frontleverexercise #latexercise #calisthenics #bodyweighttraining
